SUMMARY:Concord's Two Revolutions: Rebels\, Writers\, and Transcendentalists
DESCRIPTION:Concord has been the epicenter of two Revolutions; the American War of Independence began here on April 19\, 1775\,  and by the middle of the 19th Century the town was the breeding ground for a second Revolution\, the spiritual\, literary and intellectual movement that became known as Transcendentalism.\n\nWhy Concord? Why did such momentous events happen here? What is it about Concord that fostered rebellion\, independence\, and great literature? Who were the men and women who were involved in these events?\n\nJoin Historian Richard Smith on Patriots Day weekend for a look at “Concord’s Two Revolutions; Rebels\, Writers and Transcendentalists”. Richard will talk about Concord in the 18th and 19th Century and the two Revolutions that started here and the repercussions from them that are felt to this day.\n\nRichard Smith has lectured on and written about antebellum United States history and 19th-century American literature since 1995. He has worked in Concord as a public historian and Living History Interpreter since 1999 and has portrayed Henry Thoreau at Walden Pond and around the country. Richard has written and edited 11 books for Applewood Books and  is a regular contributor to Discover Concord Magazine.
